Oh, no. Is that something vital to living here?

[ Sure, she had to pass a class in basic self defense at the Academy, but that doesn't mean she passed with flying colors. She's agile and quick on her feet, but not physically strong. ]

[goddamngrenades]

It's highly recommended. I'll get you a tazer, sound good?

[hypospraying]

Yes, that would be.

[ It wouldn't kill a person, which is important to her. ]

Oh, but I don't have a lot of funds right now. Do you do payment plans, or should I wait on the scanner and taser until I have a job?

[goddamngrenades]

Like I said. First order's free. I'll include that in the order. Gimme...I wanna say about two days. Shouldn't take longer than that. I'll get you set up.

[hypospraying]

Really?

[ She sounds a little skeptical. Surely there must be some catch, right? That's three free items. ]

Just like that?

[goddamngrenades]

Newbies need all the help they can get, and we Immune need to have each other's back. I've been here a long time. Seen a lot of shit. Better that we're all prepared.

[hypospraying]

I can't argue with that.

[ And she feels lucky to be in a community of sorts like this, instead of alone. ]

I'm Christine. Probably should have started with introductions.

[goddamngrenades]

And you know to call me York. I'll get this taken care of and dropped off in the next few days. Stay safe in the meantime.

[hypospraying]

I will.

[ Or she'll do her best, in any case. ]

Thank you, York.
